Thank you so much for this excellent, outstanding presentation. You did a fantastic job! Now, I have the confidence to replace the notchy tumbler on my 1989 300CE.
M-B asks for $125.US for the new tumbler with original (2) keys (Part # 126-460-02-04). You are a great guy- much appreciated! :)
You are the best Mercedes mechanic on CZcams. Thank you.
Many thanks for taking the time to do these video's . I have just changed the tumbler on my 320CE. Your video really helped though as you advised it took a bit of time to wiggle it out !!Many many thanks from a fellow W124 Massive fan Cheers Rob
The only video that shows the internals and how the release pins are supposed to work.
Perfect. Exactly what I needed. Thanks so much for posting this.
Thank you
You're loyal followers from
The U S A 😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You made a very good job.
1. You show that its only necessary to have a steel-wire on the top
2. You show that the cover of the lock can be put afterwards when the lock is in and the function test was done. .
Showing all in advance, that gave me a much better understanding.
I waited too long to exchange (not knowing that it is a cheap part and that the exchange is normally easy. It took me some time to get the steering lock opened. And some more time to get the lock out. Now I am still having a problem to get the new lock in. This could be because i did move the steering when the lock was removed. at the deepest point in the hole there are two parts that can be moved and maybe does not allow the lock to get fully in. Also i bought one of the cheapest lock. Maybe i need to look for a Meyle. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the warning. .will get mine changed soonest
Thank you! This is the super video!
Thank you for posting this video.
Well, thank you for another life saving episode! I am changing the switch at the back as well, the car will not start and there is no "click" from the starter motor solenoid (Bendix) so I suppose it is the switch behind the ignition switch...I hope so!
I think I will tackle this in the morning. I have the same exact car. I got mine from MB I got the coded one so you dont have to use 2 differeent keys to lock your car or unlock it :D
Great video
Very good instructions 😊
Ok, VERY IMPORTANT!! On the 1995 W124 250D 20 valves, you MUST put another wire or rod in to the ignition switch at 180° to the one shown in this video otherwise the SECOND clip (and there is one, belive me) will still hold the black metal shroud in place and you will NOT be able to extract the shroud and ignition switch! I have just finished this intervention at home so I know.
That Meyle part number is on back order on every parts site I've searched.
What about on 82 w126, is the cover pull out or screw out?
Very nice job.
@dieselmercedes great video! Are you able to still remove this if the steering wheels is locked? Also there is supposedly another spring that holds the black outer casing in place
Hi! it is possible to fit on a 1991 w124 om602.912 250D 94hp engine a automatic 4 speed transmision and the differential from a 1995 om605 250D w124?
thank you !
شكرا لك
Hi, what is the name of the plastic black part?
Muito Bom Video,muito bom .
I may have to do that with mine someday soon. if I put my key in and it wont turn but if I flip it it will turn easy. I called my Mercedes dealer and they are a lot of coded ingnition tumblers where you wont have two different keys to get in.. It will use the orningal one.
How. To replace ignition tumbler on a 72 benz 250c. The key will not turn
Thanks to you good place 👍
But what is the tool called? The 1.5 mm long tool?
Great video. Thanks for uploading. Where do you get those pins for removing the tumbler?
Mercedessource.com has a great complete kit as well as great videos in addition to this excellent gentleman. Thanks diesel Mercedes!
You can also make your own with a coat hanger
Thanks!
How do I remove the key cylinder if the inside of it is completely locked up inside and I cannot put the key in enough turn it so that I can put the pin into the opening to push the spring?
Hello how did you manage to change this key cylinder ?
I would greatly appreciate some advice from an expert
Would spraying wd40 into the ignition tumbler fix the notchy operation when turning the key?
I used a graphite powder it works well for a while
What if you don't have any keys? To get the tumbler out?
You mean, how do you steal the car?? ahahaha
You take your title and registration to MB dealer and for $23 they make you a fresh key to your car
@@dinispaulino7512 people loose keys all the time asshole
@@sageminentjunky5197 hmmm, looks like someone doesn't know what a joke is...
Is it possible to remove it if the key is lost? I imagine I would have to drill out the key cylinder to make it move to the notch.
Hello, did you manage to change this key cylinder I have the same problem
@@funzi2834 No never did

My problem is only 1 I cant turn the key so how can I remove the black cap
Hello, did you manage to change this key cylinder I have the same problem
A note to everyone here in to not do what I did. My ignition tumbler started to feel As though it wouldn't turn smoothly. Sometimes it would turn and click very hard and I would have to jiggle the steering wheel at the same time to turn the key to make the key turn. Sometimes I would go to take the key out, and the key would be able to be removed without being in the off position all the way... I could take it out when the key was slightly turned. These are the warning signs that your tumbler is going out. I put mine off for a year and I paid the price because I had to end up cutting the tumbler and the actual lock with a diamond grinder and a diamond drill bit including the steering lock pin. It was an entire weekend and a nightmare and I never want to do that again. Change out your tumbler if this starts to happen to you immediately! I even had grief from the dealership ordering a new tumbler and key because they wanted to do the work themselves. I explained to them that I can't even get the car out of park to even use a tow truck to get it to them and that the steering wheel is locked as well. I was not wanting to drag my car out of my garage and make skid marks down my driveway to a tow truck and risk breaking other things because they're locked.
In Europe 1995 was the last production year of the W124, so maybe it is a little different to some others but if you have the slightest difficulty doing this simple job check out what I wrote down below....
